    So you picked up a "Real" exhaust from a GT350, the ones that came out infront of the rear tire????????????????????????If it is in good condition it is worth a fair chunk of change! How about some pictures?????

    they came off an 85 gt350
    I dont know how valueable they might be but they sounded great on that car so Im hoping theyll sound good on my comet without the cats of course.
    me and my friend took them off his car I gave him $20 and an old cam I picked up for free

    Oh, I thought maybe you were talking about a 66 Mustang GT350..........slight difference, I had no idea they made an 85 GT350. I had the first year of the fuel injected 5.0's in 86, a Mercury Capri with 5spd.
